An alternative fuels expert says ethanol is the answer for auto makers looking to combat climate change.
Kristy Moore is the principal scientist at KMoore Consulting, where she works to develop opportunities for increased renewable fuels in domestic and global markets.
“We hear the auto makers. They are asking for octane, it’ll make their engines more efficient and not lose any performance, and we think ethanol is a silver bullet to many of those desires.”
She tells Brownfield while previous modeling was unclear, a new report from Environmental Health and Engineering at Harvard University shows the carbon intensity score for corn ethanol is 46% lower than conventional gasoline, making it a big player for climate change solutions.
